Mardi Gras Saturday night!
9 years ago
We all went out to have a Mardi Gras dinner with friends. The Cajun music and zydeco was playing, decorations everywhere and beads beads beads mister! Lol.
Good food all around the table. I had some wonderful crawfish sooo good, there were shrimp po boys and giant onion rings, a huge chicken fried steak and baked potatoes out of the skin I don't know what they called it. We had a great time and great food with great people. I would have been up dancing back in the day. I was foot tapping!

Mardi Gras Seeds Available
Comments (17)The names in my post above will be all I have available at this time. Those from that list which sent an address before Sunday Afternoon have already gone out. I'll send the rest when I get home today. There are six more sets of pods on MardiGras, 4 on Saraih's Curly Pink, 6 on "Spider," 2 on Dwarf Singapore Pink, JJ Dwarf White, Southern Cross and probably a few others I am forgetting. I will post when they are ready. King, I am in the San Antonio area as well. How cool did it get for you? It was 39 early Tuesday. I was already committed with plants in the ground so they had to just tough it out. I had a few broken branches from the wind and storms. We have a small San Antonio/Austin Plumeria Group which meets a few times a year. Keep an eye out for the post...See MoreMardi Gras and Dwarf Orange Color Break

Comments (12)Thanks you guys, we had a blast. DH really does a lot of the cooking. We also had karoke, Mardi Gras pinata, and a home made roulette wheel (it was a big hit).Luvs, I found that chaulkboard sign at the flea market and of course I had to have it. It is made of cast iron and slate. mmom, we ended up with 8 inches of snow before Monday was over. I went to work and was the only one there, stayed home Tues. and the kids are still out today. Karen, the only purple glass I ever find are those purple florist vases and I buy them whenever I find them. Syble...See MoreHappy Mardi Gras - Laissez les bon temps rouler!
Comments (24)Lent precedes Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras) You’ve got that backwards. Today is Fat Tuesday and tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, the kick-off to Lent. My parents met at a Fastnacht party in Germany some 60-something years ago. I first hooked up with my now-wife during Mardi Gras season at a N.O. themed bar/restaurant in Hoboken, NJ 19 years ago. I never thought about that minor coincidence before just now. And now I wish I could figure out a way to swing a small celebration together tonight, but my daughter has two sports and my wife’s been working late, so that might not be feasible. Public Service Announcement - Lent is a perfect time to try out some life changes. The 40-something days is long enough to break a habit and see results, short enough to where you don’t need to dwell on the anxiety of “forever.” You don’t need to be Christian or religious. If you are, great, you can look to it for strength, but it’s a good time slot for everyone....See More- 9 years ago
